The Bottom Of The Hair Follicle.....

a: Basal body ~
b: anchor of the cilium

What: "This is a picture of a cilium showing where the BBS proteins are. Most of them sit at the bottom of the cilia, at a place called the basal body. The basal body is like the anchor of the cilium, joining it to the cell. Many of the BBS proteins are involved in intraflagellar transport and so can be found along the cilium as well."
